A Quarter-Millennium of Glory: Honoring the Banner That Binds a Nation in Faith, Freedom, and Purpose
Tomorrow, on June 14, 2025, America will celebrate a historic and heart-stirring milestone—the nearly 250th anniversary of the United States flag. Known as Flag Day, this annual observance marks the adoption of the Stars and Stripes in 1777. But this year carries a deeper weight and greater meaning. Two and a half centuries have passed since the flag was first raised as a banner of courage, liberty, and divine destiny.

The Story Behind the Stars and Stripes
The U.S. flag was officially adopted by the Continental Congress on June 14, 1777. The resolution was simple but powerful:
"Resolved, That the flag of the thirteen United States be thirteen stripes, alternate red and white; that the union be thirteen stars, white in a blue field, representing a new constellation."
From that moment on, the American flag has waved over battlefields, schools, capitol buildings, front porches, and houses of worship. It has covered caskets of heroes and led the way on moon landings. It has stood as a symbol of resilience in times of war, repentance in times of national shaking, and unity in times of revival.
As we reflect on the past 250 years, this isn’t just a flag. It’s a story—our story. It represents the triumph of a people who dared to believe in freedom, and the perseverance of generations who entrusted their future to God.

Literary Reflections on the Flag and America’s Destiny
Over the years, countless authors and patriots have written about the flag’s spiritual and prophetic significance. One notable work is "The American Covenant: The Untold Story" by Marshall Foster, which explores the biblical foundations of our nation’s founding and the role divine providence played in America’s rise. Another is "If You Can Keep It" by Eric Metaxas, which speaks to the sacred responsibility every generation holds to preserve liberty.
Here at the Inspire Literary Group, we are honored to represent a growing wave of authors who are helping rekindle that fire of patriotism, purpose, and prophetic calling in the heart of America.
From The Trump Code to Revelation 911 to Your Mission in God’s Army, our authors are declaring that America’s destiny is not over—it’s being reborn.

White House: Commemorating Nearly 250 Years of Glory, Sacrifice, and the Divine Story of America
Flag Day and National Flag Week, 2025 | A PROCLAMATION
On June 14, 1777, a banner of red, white, and blue was woven into history when the Second Continental Congress passed the First Flag Resolution, making our beloved Stars and Stripes the official flag of our emerging Republic. This Flag Day and National Flag Week, we pause to revere the star-spangled emblem of our freedom — and we honor the nearly 250 years of valor, sacrifice, and patriotism it has gloriously inspired.
In the summer of 1777, more than 2 years into the Revolution and nearly 1 year after the American Colonies declared their Independence from Great Britain, the need for unity, strength, and national identity was essential. On June 14, the Congress convened to adopt a momentous resolution that galvanized the Colonies under a majestic and commanding insignia and proclaimed “the flag of the United States be made of thirteen stripes, alternate red and white; that the union be thirteen stars, white in a blue field, representing a new Constellation.” In the midst of revolution, the emblem of our freedom was born — and the mightiest symbol for sovereignty and justice ever conceived by human hands was sewn into existence.
For nearly 250 years, Old Glory has presided over every chapter of the American story. It gallantly flew as General George Washington crossed the Delaware, as President Abraham Lincoln spoke at Gettysburg, and as American forces raised it on the summit of Iwo Jima, the shores of Inchon, and in the jungles of Vietnam. It waved from the moon on July 20, 1969 and rose from the ashes at Ground Zero on September 11, 2001 — and time and again, it has been valiantly defended by patriots when extremist bands of anti-American agitators have sought to desecrate and destroy it.
Through every trial and triumph, the American flag has stood as an enduring symbol of courage, unity, and the unwavering belief that nothing will ever stand in the way of our beloved homeland, heritage, history, and values. This week, as we pause in grateful allegiance to our beautiful flag, we pray for God’s continued providence and protection. May the red, white, and blue forever reign over the greatest Nation in the history of the world — and may it always prevail over those who seek to tear it down.
To commemorate the adoption of our flag, the Congress, by joint resolution approved August 3, 1949, as amended (63 Stat. 492), designated June 14 of each year as “Flag Day” and requested that the President issue an annual proclamation calling for its observance and for the display of the flag of the United States on all Federal Government buildings. The Congress also requested, by joint resolution approved June 9, 1966, as amended (80 Stat. 194), that the President issue annually a proclamation designating the week in which June 14 occurs as “National Flag Week” and calling upon all citizens of the United States to display the flag during that week.
NOW, THEREFORE, I, DONALD J. TRUMP, President of the United States of America, do hereby proclaim June 14, 2025, as Flag Day, and the week starting June 8, 2025, as National Flag Week. I direct the appropriate officials to display the flag on all Federal Government buildings during this week, and I urge all Americans to observe Flag Day and National Flag Week by displaying the flag. I also encourage the people of the United States to proudly observe with all due ceremony those days from Flag Day through Independence Day, set aside by the Congress (89 Stat. 211), as a time to honor America, to celebrate our heritage in public gatherings and activities, and to publicly recite the Pledge of Allegiance to the Flag of the United States of America.
IN WITNESS WHEREOF, I have hereunto set my hand this
thirteenth day of June, in the year of our Lord two thousand twenty-five, and of the Independence of the United States of America the two hundred and forty-ninth.
DONALD J. TRUMP
